Abstract:

Teaching lexis has primary place in defining the communication competences in the foreign language teaching. There is a focus on the grammar in the practice of teaching Bulgarian as foreign language whereas texts and the lexis included in the grammatical exercises are relied on for the lexical progression. The theoretical work in teaching lexis to advanced students is focused on choosing words, their volume and range (thematic areas) as well as various techniques for introducing, contextualizing, automating and grading. Introduction to words, used in the studied texts, individual retrieval of the meaning from the context, visual aids for lexicalization, semantic fields work, word formation, synonyms, antonyms, compound words, phrases, idioms as well as the contrast semantics’ methods are among the means designed to develop the lexis.
